The Relation Between Ebola & Extreme Poverty Goes Both Ways

Factpod #9

I am currently working full-time as Advisor on Ebola Epidemiology at the Ministry of Health in Liberia, http://www.mohsw.gov.lr/. In this short video I explain why I decided to come here and why it’s so important to bring Ebola down to zero. Ebola causes the same extreme poverty that causes its spread. Therefore it can bring West Africa into a vicious spiral that eventually will make the whole world a far more dangerous place.
